the country around Williamsport it will
be added to by last years breaking,
while at Winchester and in the Holland
Settlement the farmers, encouraged by
the prospect of nearer market facilities
have largely increased their acreage. The
same is true in the other sections of the
county.
1t is hardly necessary to call the atten.
tion of our citizens to the fact that the
drug firm of Dunn s. Co., opposite the
Sheridan House, Bismarck, keeps on
hand at all times large stock of fresh
and pure drugs, which will be sold at the
lowest prices. Give the firm call and
be convinced of the fact.
For every settler who leaves Dakota
this year ten new ones will come in. AL
ready immigrants are crewding into Gen.
tral Dakota, and from the railroad points
of that section they will overflow into
the counties of Mcintosh, Emmons and
Logan. There are now thousands of
acres of good public land IN this county,
but those wanting it had better come
| soon.
Dan Williams has been reappointed
warden of the North Dakota Peniten-
tiary. Regarding the appointment the
Bismarck Tribune truthfully says This
action will meet with the hearty approval
of all Bismarckers, and will be indorsed
| ri of
an acquaintance with the warden. He
has been efficient, thorough and pains
taking in his management Of the institu-
tion, of which fact the Endorsement of
the new board is the strongest proof"
Theodore Roosevelt. the Bad Lands cat.
tleman and late Republican candidate for
mayor of New York City, was inter-
viewed while on the train at Bismarck
the other day, and, among other thing s,
said: "Never was the confidence of the
money men IN the East more solid Mill
ions upon millions will be sent to the
Northwest this season for investment.
Dakota and the railroad development now
going on within her borders will, think,
secure the lions share of the attention of
capitalists
lL>~h the time of the thaw 1t was reported
that all the bridges along the river in this
county had been wrecked, and many of
our citizens still believe that such was the
case. This is mistake. Cattail bridge
was damaged, but the timbers were saved
and it was at once repaired. The back
water raised the ice at the Archambaut
bridge, and the ice raised the bridge from
its foundation. But when the water fell
the bridge settled back IN its old position,
all right. The same action and result oc-
CURED at Little Beaver bridge.
IMr. John Parker, of Winchester. Wis,
tied the county seat Wednesday, He is
in very poor health, and has been for
some time. Last winter, while the snow
was deep, on his return from Iowa he
drove across from Ellendalc. walking
a large portion of the way. This would
have been trip full of hardship even for
ayounger man. Afterward he was con.
fined to his bed by q very painful rup-
ture, and then a gathering in his head
added to his suffcrings. But it is likely,
now that the pleasant weather has come,
that he will rapidly mend.

The Gopher Pest.

If Gov. Church could tear himself away
from the politicians for few weeks and
make tour among his rural subjects, it
is not likely that he would veto the next
gopher. bounty bill. The tact cannot be
disguised that some means must be found
for a general warfare throughout the
territory against the little pest. An oc-
casional dose of poison and few shot
guns will not do it. There is enough
grain destroyed by gophers every season
to pay, three times over, the sum neces-
sary for paying bounties for year. The
gopher scourge is rapidly growing worse
as the wild ANIMALS which prey on
the tiny burrowers disappear; and, un-
less some sort of gopher blackleg or
pleuro-pneumonia ovcrwhelms the pest,
it is likely that by the time the next ses-
sion convenes there will be less hilarity
over measures for their destruction The
farmers during the next canvass should
also be funny" and go into the fight
with the picture of dcfunct grain-thief
on their banner. Then, should a states
man prove false, instead of the usual
ancient-egg reception on his return home,
substitute dead gophers therefor.

A TALK WITH SANTA CLAUS.
BY EUGENE FIELD.

One Christmas Eve Joel Baker in most I'M
happy mood He was lonesome and miserable; the
chimes making merry Christmas music outside dis
turbed rather than soothed him; the jingle of the
sleighbels fretted him. and the shrill whistliRg of
the wind around the of the house and and
down the chimney seemed to CRATE harshly on his
ears.
"Humph" said Joel, YEARLY Christmas is
nothln' to me; there was a time when it meant a
great deal, but that was long ago-ffty years is a
long stretch to look back There is nothin in
Christmas now-nothin' for me at least, it is so
long since Santa Claus remembered that venture
to say he has forgotten that there was such a
person as Joel Baker in all the world 1t used to be
different; Santa Claus used to think great deal of
me when 1 was boy. All! Christmas nowadays
amt what it was in the good old time-no not what
it used to be-
As Joel was absorbed in his distressing thoughts
he became aware very suddenly that somebody was
entering, or trying to enter, the ROOM First came
draft of very cold air. then scraping grating sound
then strange shufaing and then-yes, then, all at
once Joel saw pair of fat legs and still atter body
bangle down the chimney, followed presently by a
long, white beard, above which appeared jolly red
nose and two bright twinkling eyes, while over the
head and forehead was drawn fur cap, white with
snowfakes.
TIA, hap chuckled the fat jolly stranger, emery
ing from the chimney and standing well to one side
of the hearthstone ha, hal they don't have the big,
wide chimneys they used to build, but they can't
keep Santa Claus out-no they can't keep Santa
Claus out! Ha ha, ha! Though the chimney were
no bigger than gas pipe, Santa Claus would slide
down it!''
1t didn't require second glance to assure Joel
that the new conner was indeed Santa Claus. Joel
knew the good old saint-oh, yes-and he had seen
him once before, and although thet was when Joel
was little boy he had never forgotten how Santa
Claus looked.
Nor had Santa Claus forgotten Joel, although Joel
thought he had for Santa looked kindly at Joel
and smiled and said: "Merry Christmas to you,
JOEL" ~
"Thank you, old Santa Claus, " replied Joel, "but
don't believe it's gon' to be a very merry Christ
mas It's been SO long since I've had merry
Christmas that don't believe I'd know how to act
if had one''

"But Otis couldn't keep awake: explained JOEL
''We talked about everythin' could think Of till
father called out to that if we didn't stop talking
he'd have send of up into the attic to sleep
with the hired man. So in less than five minutes
Otis was sound asleep and no pinching could wake
him up. But was bound to see Santa Claus, and I
don't believe anything would have put to sleep.

Joel; "mine was red and had Yankee Doodle

"You set the seds up against the wall, - continued
JOEL land then you filled the stockin's."
"There were six of 'em as recollect, said Santa

you left each of book Elvira got the best one,
which was the Garland of Friendship and had
